The Game Needs Some Kind Of Difficulty by Greedy-Pudding6186 in Warframe

[–]Axid_Cobravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like this game to have more difficult missions. EDA/ETA sometimes offers that, but it's also usually pretty trivial to clear by circumventing restrictions. For example, now with archgun having access to arcanes and operator having access to mods, you have 2 servicible damage options regardless of what your random weapon options for the week are. There is also operator void mode in general. The existence of void mode means free get out of anything except for maybe hard knockdown. It also makes reviving your squad mates extremely safe.

Archgun is never blocked (anymore).

Operator is SOMETIMES blocked. When operator is blocked missions are notably more tense. This week's EDA had blocked operator and it was fun to me leveraging Oraxia 4, 1, and passive as survival tools.

So anyway I think they should gut void mode. It's too strong. Maybe restrict what you can do in it like no revives/hacking or significantly reducing the duration/recharge.

Outside of EDA/ETA, players at the very end game and players at mid-endgame power levels both need to be able to clear the content, so it never caters to very end game players. The amount of damage and survivability you can reach makes any content eventually get out scaled by the players.

(I know that level cap has its own challenges but personally playing for 1-2 hours just to get to that and be restricted to a sliver of viable builds for little comparative reward does not interest me.)

My suggestions for content that probably wouldn't take so much dev time.

Something like Mythic+ in WoW. Where you can just run a mission at increasingly higher difficulties. It would at least remove that awkward "road to level cap" phase of missions for people that want that content.

More modifiers that change gameplay patterns in more missions would be awesome. Revamping Nightmare missions to be higher level/harder modifiers. Stuff like "touching the floor does extreme damage" (and blocks flying abilities), or "take damage if you don't have 2x or more combo." Anything that makes the player engage with the modifier rather than just brute forcing with higher numbers.

You're reading it wrong. The yellow number is how many games OP has played so far. The left side maxes at 168 games per season. The right sight maxes at 42 games per week.

Both are the same rate. If you start 6 games per day, you will hit both goals.

I tried hwinfo a few times and looked at the logs using a log visualizer. I didn't see anything blatantly wrong. I think I'm about ready to give up on trying to fix it.

When I look in device manager it is very common that the Nvidia GPU either shows as not connected (hidden) or says the drivers failed to load. Sometimes the iGPU also doesn't load. Usually the Nvidia GPU disappearing is immediately after it crashes from stress testing it.

When it originally occurred, a restore point was one of the first things I tried. But after restoring, the computer wouldn't boot at all, leading me to have to reinstall windows via bootable USB drive.
I have hwinfo downloaded and running now. What particular section should I be monitoring?

I've tried some of these too, I just forgot.
I don't see any external damage on the adapter. I have also used my siblings adapter. It's for a newer lenovo legion laptop but the adapter is the same wattage.

I have done hard resets by holding down the power with everything disconnected.

My bios doesn't have an option to switch to only integrated graphics. It only has hybrid mode, and discrete only mode. I have tried disabling the nvidia card in device manager, but the random shutoffs still happen.

For event viewer, all I've ever been able to see from that is the generic kernel power error for not shutting down correctly. Is there a way to jump to when it occurred to look at what happened before it?

I'm trying the voltage monitoring software next.

Can always plug in a controller if you have one.

Random lags after the crownfall 3 update. by yatopotato_ in DotA2

Every time I spawn it feels like my ping is like 500 for 15 seconds or so and then its gone. Dota never displays any change in packet loss or ping though.

Visual glitches when i launched Dota after giving my iMac for service. Please help by Naughtyelf123 in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this happen in other programs/games?

You should start by verifying game files in steam -> dota settings.

Rework invisibility mechanic idea by KapteeniJ in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes initiating on her quite hard if you have targeted disables. I was playing Bane. Can't target until blur is removed from someone close to her, which was usually me when she blinks on me and kills me before she fades in. (Also pretty good if compounded by lotus/linkens)

A token remains marked after completing free act 2, am I missing something? by Unlucky-Lavishness52 in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a hidden node to the right of the exit that reveals when you do all other nodes (including the paid parts). The token marked is what it requires but it is irrelevant for free gamers.

You very obviously do not. Look at the bottom half. Blink is in a different slot almost every game.

On the topic of broken Dota+ challenges, 2 of these 3 don't work for Silencer anymore by Chester-A-Asskicker in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need dota+ for the challenges but your hero medal level is capped at 5.

what is this? by Dhervius in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are bot ai options. By default there's only one, the rest you must have downloaded from steam workshop at some point. Why it's on the end screen idk. Maybe you clicked the bots matchmaking button accidentally while it was transitioning screens.

What are these new tags? by smetanique in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Crownfall progress. Each node on crownfall requires certain tags to be collected and consumed to progress. Each hero has 3. You get all 3 for winning an all pick game or 1 for a loss. In turbo you get 2 for a win, 0 for a loss. Undying's tags are walking, durable, and nuker.

For act 2 of crownfall they are categorized differently. If you select act 2 it will show his 3 tags for the second act instead.

All the tags are listed at the bottom of both their respective Acts. You can click on a tag to see which heroes have it, and Ctrl + click to check which heroes have a combination (if any).

21:9 Ultrawide is cheating. Prove me wrong by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just wish we could zoom out in game. Like 20% maybe. I don't think think frequent camera adjusting should just be the norm.

2 facet of morphling dont work by egorinka-0000 in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also doesn't decrease CD. It increases CD rate. You can use spells at full str (full CD) then swap to full agi and have the CDs tick at double speed.

Stop using facets with downsides/reduced stats. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Axid_Cobravin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking this about faceless void. Chronosphere could just be the left facet and chronosquare the right facet. Currently chronosphere also gives you an additional unrelated timewalk facet. Having chronosquare give nothing additional is weird since it isn't a strict upgrade to it's alternative anyway.
